**What is living**
If our eyes don't gleam with excitement 
If laughter isn't constantly escaping 
If we never make mistakes 
If we don't tan in the summer 
Or have to wash dirt off of our feet 
From those long walks in the woods

**What is living**
If we are constantly worried about our sizes 
If money is always being counted 
If we always are hiding behind technology
If the only thing we fill our bodies with 
is alcohol 
Or drugs because depression is the only color we see


*When did living become something that we have to be told how to do?*
